Korn to Welcome Back 'The Head'

Korn to Welcome Back 'The Head' -

Korn will welcome back into the fold founding
guitarist Brian Welch next year for two special
shows, reports
Loud Wire.

German rock festivals Rock am Ring and Rock im Park will be the
setting for the historic two-date reunion in which Brian
'The Head' will play his first full sets with the Nu-Metal
titans for the first time since 2004. Welch, himself now a
born-again Christian, is currently fronting a new project called
Love and Death.

The 2013 festivals will both be held on June 7 - 9 and will also
feature Stone Sour, Bad Religion,
Five Finger Death Punch, Bullet for My
Valentine plus more. The Rock am
Ring festival will be held at the Nurburgring
racetrack in the west of Germany, while Rock im
Park is around the Frankenstadion in Nuremberg in the
south of Germany.

Korn guitarist James 'Munky' Shaffer recently
told The Pulse of Radio
that he would be open to Welch rejoining the band after Welch
joined Korn onstage at the Carolina
Rebellion for the first time since his
departure.

"It's just something that has to be super well-planned
and it has to come naturally," said Munky.

"And our experience with him on Saturday has all started from
a positive place, and it wasn't forced and it was just natural. So
I think if everything optimistically runs like that, that's all I
can hope for. I'm really happy just to reconnect with my old
friend."
